Seattle explodes as Mariners win Game 5: ‘Would you want it any other way?’

Last week, the line to get into T-Mobile Park, hours before first pitch, stretched nearly half a mile. On Friday, it was half a block.

The streets around the stadium seemed emptier Friday, the bars quieter. There were way more Blue Jays fans than there had been the last two days.

The vibes were decidedly subdued.

All it took to turn things around was some baseball. And one of the greatest games in Mariners history.

The raucous crowd stood, cheered and roared from first pitch through 7 ½ innings and then positively exploded after Eugenio Suárez put the Mariners within one game of the World Series with a deafening grand slam in the eighth.
